Fair play to Paul Abbandonato

Now Glen Williams needs to distance himself from Dalman / Boris and be more honest about how bad things really are:

Seems the First Team Coach isn't delivering on his promises? :?

He could be a politician! :laughing6:

Oh, hang on! We got one of those already and he claims not to know the other guy; but then again, he doesn't deliver on his promises either, does he? :roll:

Many say this isn't Hudson's fault, and the board is to blame. To a certain extent, yes. Tactically though, Hudson is clueless. It's as if he makes it up as he goes along with his selections and substitutes.

Our best-attacking player is playing at left-back. Colwill is playing on the wing when his skill sets are better suited from the center. Surely we can put somebody else in at center back and move Ng or Romeo over to the left.

Bringing off Robinson, keeping on Harris, and ultimately putting Kipre up front is beyond a joke. How Harris has become some sort of "untouchable" because "he works hard" is beyond a joke. We, are beyond a joke.

If Crole can't get a look in now, he cannot be highly thought of as Harris is one of the worst options I have seen as a starting centre forward in a long time.

You only have to look at how we’ve gone downhill with Hudson.

I was happy with the squad and progress under Morison but Hudson simply isn’t getting the best out of, what should be, a top 8 squad.

People say Morison lost the dressing room but I don’t see that compared to how disillusioned they look under Hudson.

Either the manager changes or we change the manager, it’s that stark.

I agree, it's time to attack more but without risking our defensive integrity. It's a tricky balancing act for Hudson, but i think going unbeaten in 4 before yesterday is a good foundation to build on. We have very little attacking quality in midfield, Colwill looks our best bet but i'm not yet even sure he'll make it at this level.

IMO it's nothing to do with Hudson over Morison or the other way around. Teams had already sussed us by the end of August.

No one presses us, however much we egg them on to do it with pointless pretty triangles between the keeper, centre halfs and defensive midfielders; its just a low block take the nearest man to you and wait for NG (generally) to turn it over. We have no weapons and everyone knows it. No dribblers, no height, no raw pace, no set plays, no strength, so do let us get behind you then you are fine.

Its a fantasy football squad where Ralls, Wintle or Rimonhota are suddenly Xavi, Iniesta& Messi

It’s Hudson’s left bulging blue glass teddy bear eye that impairs any vision. You can see it when the sky cameras are on him. Notably, he also buttons up at the back of the head and believes in his Sat Chinese takeaway fortune cookie that says “ you have a quality squad and will inherit the earth”

Yep agree with everything on here. Jason fowler above is spot on. Why ODowda is at full back instead of winger is beyond me, why take Robinson off the only bloke who can score goals. Why isn't Colwill behind him ?

Anyway we've got to the stage now when everything is going wrong. Off th pitch a transfer embargo, the immorality of the Sal a story, ( the brilliant and best example being the premise "Sala, is not our player" followed by " we are is suing the insurance company for not insuring our player" ) A total and utter embarrassment. Will the transfer embargo effect us? Answer from Dalman yes and no. No being the real answer because we had no intention of spending any money anyway!

The squad have gelled well , now they need more time to gel. I set the team up wrongly and apologised to the players, the lowest scorers in the division, steadily dropping down the table, crowds lower than ever. If I wasn't a season ticket holder I'd be having a few games off as well.
Tan - the fans should be pleased, we're near the play offs. Yes nearer the teams in the play offs in the division below.
And for God's sake stop playing Harris ! He's only good for a ten minute closing down exercise at the end when we're leading. Can you remember that ?
